How is the volume of a horizontal large tank calculated?
Thread Content
Question: For a horizontal large tank with a cylinder-shaped middle section and elliptical end caps, how can the volume be calculated based on the liquid level indication? I earnestly request the guidance of those who are more experienced. This post was last edited by GUANGWEI8.26 on 2009-4-15 at 15:05.]
The handover of oil tanks must be based on valid certification documents; by measuring parameters such as the height, temperature, and density of the oil, the actual volume and mass can be calculated using volume charts. If high precision is not required, one can also use a simple software program such as EXCEL for basic calculations; however, this can only serve as a reference and cannot be used as data for external submission.
There is calculation software in the app; you can search for it
Generally, no calculation is needed for this; simply select the filling coefficient during design. We aren’t manufacturers of level gauges, and even if we were, we couldn’t help you with it, as making the dial is very difficult. What we used to do was provide ordinary level gauges that only measured the liquid level height, with users having to perform the conversions on their own based on that height.
We want to determine the volume of oil in the tank based on the liquid level display, so as to find out the mass of oil in the tank, calculate the daily consumption, and monitor the actual amount delivered by the tank trucks
I can give you a calculation software that’s quite convenient; you can also look for it on the forum
I want a software, thank you! lsp-9@163.com
